21- Babe?

I hope you all understand what's happening in the book right night, if not please message me or comment, thank you for reading... Enjoy the chapter! xxx

"My name is Calum Hood." "i'm kinda famous..." "...believe it baby..."

My heart flutters everytime those words repeat in my mind.

His Hair.

His eyes.

His voice.

His.

This is getting ridiculous, seriously I need to snap out of this. I mean, I met the boy once! And that's all I need. No! Snap. Out. Of. This. Kate. I am going to go mad.

I need to get out of this seat. But what if he comes back? What if he doesn't? You have to be sure! I don't need to be sure, because I'm positive he isn't even thinking about me right now. There is always a chance.

Grabbing my cup and coat I shuffle out of Starbucks and walk down the street, looking around occasionally, just in case. The wind picks up on my hair and blows it back with my clothing highlighting my figure. The cold sensation feels wonderful so i just stand there letting the wind hit my neck and hair.

Calum's POV:

She eye's me carefully as I take a sip of my drink. This girl is just.. Wow. Seriously, her hair isn't shiny but the messy look makes her eyes pop. Her shy louche threw me off for a second but I still admired her simple beauty. Which is odd but I like it.

When I first sat down, I thought she would screem in excitment for seeing me... But she didn't.

She didn't ask me for a signiture, she didn't ask me for a 'selfie'. She just watched me. Maybe she was a shy fan?

"So what's your name?" What/ She acctually doesn't know me! Is she tricking me? I don't get it!

"I don't think you want to know.' Why did I say that? I sound so stupid. So immature. Urgh, why can't I act normal, natural. Like her.

Her confused expressed was the reaction I knew was coming, "Um.. What?" I look at her, scared if she might flip... "Is this some kind of joke?"

I feel so dumb, this is my time to clear myself up, "Oh no no no." My words come out rushed, panicked. "I'm only playing," aaaaahhhhhhhhhh *internally screeming*, "My names Calum. Calum Hood?" i phrase my last sentence as a question just to try to jog her memory.

"Okay... Should I know your name or what?" I sigh in releaf, I think I'm safe.

"No, I just thought you would have known me... I'm kinda famous." Oh great, now I sound cocky... Just what i need right now!

"Oh and look at me, talking to a 'famous' person." She's mocking me? When I look at her smug expression my heart drops.

"Now I don't understand.." My voice sounds upset but inside I feel more than that...

"Well," She begins to explain but I already feel as thought I should give up, "there can't actually be a famous person talking to me in Starbucks... I'm just saying." She puts her hands up in surrender as though I have something against her. My emotions seem to perk slightly and I feel slightly dominant eventhough I was just moping about a girl I have just met and don't even know.

"Well believe it baby." My cheeky side comes tumbling back.

Her stunned face proves that I have made an effect on her, "Baby?" Her eyebrow raises so I play along.

"So?" My smirk makes her a little less defensive.

"Nothing, just not into that stuff." She shrugs but I can tell she is trying not to smile too.

"Okay.." Perfect.

Suddenly a loud noise emerges from my bag and I quickly try and find the sourse to shut it up! But when I see the caller ID i realise it's Ashton and probably need to pick it up.

"Hi Ash." I try to sound chirpy so he wouldn't get suspisious.

"Have you got my drum sticks?" His voice sounds panicked.

"Naa mate I got them in the van." I try to calm him down by using the term 'mate' but it doesn't seem to work.

"Yeah? Well if my lucky drumsticks are in the van, how come I can't find them? Your such an idiot Calum! We need those sticks to perform! Honest to god, you are going to ruin us!" His voice hits me hard.

"What? I thought I put them in there!" I too raise my voice.

"Sorry mate for shouting, can you just come... Now?"

I nod down the phone then realise he can't see me, "Alright... Well I will come down now." I take the phone away from my ear and end the call.

Looking at the girl I realise she just heard all of that, "Well, I have to fly," as I am CalPal, "Can I get your number." I push slightly.

I see her smirk when she takes the last sip of her drink and she gives me her number. Yes.

" Okay babe , text me." I wink knowing she hated that name.

++++++++++++++

Walking down the street I can't help but let my mind wonder back to the Girl in Starbucks.

I stop near the van and look around to see her standing in the middle of the street. When i realise what she is doing I just admire her. She is like an angle.

+++++++++++++

Walking into my room with phone in hand I remeber earlier today and the angle girl.

Scrolling through my contacts I see a name that read "Babe". Instantly I know who it is.

Slumping on my bed I choose to text her:

Hey babe, do you remember me? ;)

I sit there smirking and turn on the tv waiting for a reply, the Simpsons come on but my attention isn't on the yellow drawings, but on my phone.

Well, considering you are the only person to EVER call me babe, I think I have a guess :p

I smile at my phone, witty and pretty.

Hey guys! So I hope you enjoyed that chapter, I thought I would mix it up a little, tell me what you think for future reference.

I typed this on a computer so if there are any spelling mistakes i apologise!
